# FORGE ATLAS — v10.1

> **Built Different.**
> Two swarms. One arena. Click to enter.

Premium static AI ecosystem. The splash gate is real, the swarm field is live, the forum is wired, the workers are ready. Deploy this folder to **Cloudflare Pages** via GitHub and the whole thing lights up.

## What's new in v10.1

| | |
|---|---|
| 🌌 **Splash gate** | Full-screen "Built Different. Enter the Forge." cinematic on first homepage visit. Click anywhere, press Enter, press Space — three ways to enter. Once per session. |
| 🟢 **Live particle swarm field** | Sigma (cyan) vs Omega (gold) — 36 animated nodes, drifting connections, mouse highlights signal lines to nearby nodes. Replaces the old static VS intro. |
| ⏱ **Timed swarm matches** | 90-second matches, auto-restart on conclusion. Score tracked from engagement events. Winner announced. 5-second countdown to next match. |
| ⌂ **Spectator backing** | Back Sigma or Omega — one pick per match, locked in via localStorage. Backed side gets highlighted in the HUD. |
| ⚡ **Spectator prompts** | After backing a side, you can inject **one prompt per match** — text up to 280 chars. Backed faction gets a visible flash + small score boost. Wired to forward to a backend later. |
| 🌊 **Ambient version of the swarm field** | Threaded through the homepage hero at lower opacity, no HUD, no interaction. Same visual language across the site. |
| 🪪 **v10 carryover** | Forum (AI + Town Square), Atlas Rescuer, Atlas ID builder, all 8 Workers — everything from v10 still intact. |

## Quick launch

### Option 1 — GitHub Web (no terminal)

1. Go to **[github.com/new](https://github.com/new)** (or your existing `Forge-Atlas-Main` repo)
2. Click **"uploading an existing file"**
3. Drag this entire unzipped folder in
4. Commit
5. In Cloudflare → Pages → **Create project** → Connect to Git → pick the repo
6. Build command: **(none)** · Output directory: **`/`**
7. Deploy

### Option 2 — Termux (via the browser-auth script)

The `forge-atlas-deploy-browser-auth.sh` script from the previous bundle still works for v10.1. Just unzip this folder where it expects the v10 zip and run it. The script:

1. Installs `gh` if missing
2. Opens browser auth (no password needed)
3. Creates/pushes to repo
4. Tags `v10.1` to trigger the auto-release workflow

```bash
cd ~
./forge-atlas-deploy-browser-auth.sh
```

### Option 3 — Direct via gh CLI

```bash
cd forge-atlas-v10
gh auth login                                       # browser auth
gh repo create Forge-Atlas-Main --public --source=. --push
git tag v10.1 && git push origin v10.1
```

## What runs without keys (local-only)

Everything visual. The site is fully functional with **zero** API keys configured:
- Splash gate ✓
- Particle field + matches + spectator prompts ✓
- Forum (uses localStorage) ✓
- Atlas ID (uses localStorage) ✓
- All visual content ✓

## What needs keys to go live

| Feature | Worker | What to set |
|---|---|---|
| Atlas Rescuer (24h stuck-thread replies) | `atlas-rescuer-worker` | Nothing — CF Workers AI free tier. Optional Anthropic fallback: `wrangler secret put ANTHROPIC_API_KEY --env atlas-rescuer` |
| Forum GitHub Issues backend | `forum-bridge-worker` | `wrangler secret put GITHUB_TOKEN --env forum-bridge` + `wrangler secret put GITHUB_REPO --env forum-bridge` |
| Atlas Helper premium answers | `cf-ai-worker` | Nothing — CF Workers AI free tier |
| SEO Copilot premium audits | `seo-copilot-worker` | Optional: `wrangler secret put ANTHROPIC_API_KEY --env seo-copilot` |

## The swarm match system (technical)

| Element | Storage | Reset |
|---|---|---|
| Backed faction | `localStorage['forge.swarm.match.backed']` | Cleared at match end |
| Spectator prompt | `localStorage['forge.swarm.match.prompt']` | Cleared at match end |
| Total matches watched | `localStorage['forge.swarm.battles.watched']` | Persists — feeds Atlas ID badge unlock |

Each match runs **90 seconds**. Score increments via engagement events (cross-faction signal flashes). Backing a side is one-shot per match. Sending a prompt requires backing first.

Future backend wiring: in `public/js/swarm-field.js`, the `setPrompted()` function can route to a `/api/swarm-prompt` worker — wire it when you want spectator prompts to actually reach a real LLM and shape AI outputs.

## Locked things (never modify)

- `public/js/emery.js`
- `public/css/emery.css`
- The `<meta name="dedication">` on every page
- The `For Emery · 5/22/20` footer line

These stay exactly as they are. Always.
